Each month we will feature a different film pulled from our regular schedule of high-quality educational documentaries for families.

• Sound: The sound is turned down for sensitive ears.
• Format: No 3D – all movies are played in regular format, eliminating concerns about 3D glasses.
• Length/Topic: 30- to 45-minute documentary films, appropriate and engaging for all ages.
• Environment: Stress-free and welcoming.
• Concessions: Available in the Giant Screen Experience Lobby.
• Sensory-friendly days are free, but ADVANCE REGISTRATION is required.
